This location is close to the waterfront of Christiansted with shops and restaurants, 2 grocery stores and is on the water. I wouldn't call it beach front as there isn't a beach in front of this property. You can walk a bit down the shoreline and find a sand beach a few properties down. The pool was nice and that's the gate you go out to the water.
Upon arrival at the property, the key pad is on your left before the gate. You go up 3 flights of stairs to get to this 3rd floor unit. Loved that it was a top unit, would have loved to know it was 3 sets of stairs.
We did struggle with finding the unit once we were inside the gate. It's not listed in the address, at least that we could figure out. Husband tried to go into the wrong unit before we noticed something that made us think, maybe this one is the unit. The unit was just as you saw in the pictures. If it weren't for a swaying palm tree, you would have a non obstructive view of the ocean when you are looking out to the left of the balcony. Funny thing, someone said something about all you see is the parking lot. I had to change my viewing perspective, looking straight out the balcony to have that perspective. My question, who would go onto a balcony and not look toward the water? There are tall stools in the balcony as well as the large table. Enjoyed the view of the beautiful water, palm trees, and flowers of the well manicured lawn area of the property. There is a outdoor bbq grill which we thought we might use, we just never did. The living room furniture was comfortable with a plenty of tables. The big counter between the living room and kitchen was a great place to eat as well as utilize for all our "stuff" keys, maps, snacks, etc Ceiling fans in all rooms with remotes. The bedrooms do have window AC units which are noisy. I'll take that over hot any day.
Thank you for the use of the snorkeling equipment. We enjoyed snorkeling at Rainbow Beach. It was cleaned before/after use. Loved the big beach towels too. Having the washer/dryer made life easier.
The owners were fantastic in responding to any of my questions. There is a brochure and island map there that were really helpful too. I would recommend this unit.
